Take-Two Interactive Software‘s 2K Games division announced that Firaxis Games will produce Sid Meier’s Civilization: Beyond Earth for the Windows PC this fall.

It makes sense because previous Civilization games end as you grow your empire to the point where it can begin space travel. In this case, it looks like the game will start with space travel, and players will lead their people to colonize alien planets. The title could pump some new life into a rich game series that traces its roots back to the original Civilization of 1991. And legendary game designer Sid Meier is still lending his name to the effort.
